The total number of people who have tested positive for the novel coronavirus in Hawai’i is now at fifty-six (not including four military personnel who also recently tested positive). People are beginning to panic, not realizing that increased testing is the reason. Some of fools are now clamoring for a complete lockdown.

Ala Moana Center Nazis

A can opener was procured at Walmart® in town this morning. Then, breakfast was served at one of the bus stop benches at Ala Moana Center. The Nazi “security” guards were observed patrolling the entire mall and hassling people. Any sitting breaks required a walk back to the bus stop benches. Pathetic!

An early return to Waikiki and a brief stopover at the International Marketplace preceded a jaunt to Waikiki Beach. No need for “social distancing,” eh? The beach, looking West, was fairly deserted.

Looking East toward Fudgepacker Park yielded the same observation. There was some temptation to spend more time there, but the idea was quickly mummified.

The beach area is technically supposed to be closed. Some access points and seating areas were cordoned off with yellow tape. Baha! Ha! Ha! Haaa! What a farce!

Finally, a daytime view of Fudgepacker Park is in order. Looks really pleasant, eh? Just don’t venture over there at night. Sheesh!

Only one can of generic chili beans was procured at Target® this afternoon. The conversion to a cheaper and simpler diet is still way off. There just is too much hoarding.
